At the heart of the Roomba 800 Series are the new AeroForce Extractors, part of the patent-pending AeroForce ™ Performance Cleaning System. These Extractors amplify suction for superior performance over traditional bristle brushes, all while being virtually maintenance free. As a result, Roomba 800 Series delivers up to 50 percent better pick-up of dirt, debris and hair from your floor.

"Bristle brushes have been around for a hundred years. With these new AeroForce Extractors, we've invented a completely different way to clean your floor," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot. "With the Roomba 800 Series and AeroForce technology, iRobot is disrupting the floor care category yet again."

"With more than a decade of cleaning homes around the world, iRobot understands consumer needs and the wide range of challenges associated with robotic floor care," said Christian Cerda, senior vice president and general manager of the Home Robots business unit at iRobot. "In doing that, we deliver a system that takes care of itself and cleans up to 50 percent better than previous Roomba models."

The AeroForce system, a patent-pending technology, features:

Brushless, counter-rotating AeroForceExtractors that break down debris and lift dirt, while requiring less maintenance.

Suction Amplification, resulting from the acceleration of airflow between the AeroForce Extractors.

A brushless High-Efficiency Vacuum to maximize vacuum power and the new XLife battery for optimized robotic cleaning efficiency.

These technologies result in greater performance and a cleaner floor. Compared to the previous generation Roomba, Roomba 800 Series:
